Description

About 20 years ago a large limb fell into the street opposite my house. A large piece of it remained attached high on the tree trunk across the street. Repeatedly since then I have tried to notify the city or UI about this large remaining piece, which has only proceeded to deteriorate, and which poses an ever increasing danger to anyone passing by, as well as to the wires for, I believe, much of the neighborhood. UI's attitude seems to be that it would rather let the limb fall and then put back the wires afterward, rather than take the branch down itself. The city has been unresponsive.

I have on occasion even tried to snare, at my own expense, some tree service already working elsewhere in the neighborhood with a bucket truck, but each one has shied away, I think because of the wires.

There is only one direction this deteriorating limb is going to fall, and that event only becomes sooner. This will be a real danger to anyone underneath at that moment. And it could be prevented.
